“And I Don’t Think Anybody Should Feel Bad If They Get Diagnosed With A Mental Illness, ’cause

santos purposefully pissing langdon off by being touchy with mel.

during the time the langdon was gone, trinity and mel became better friends. actual friends, not just people at work who are friendly (this is an important distinction to mel). they’ve had dinner together, gone out drinking a few times, they text regularly. it’s nice. mel has helped trinity be more forgiving to herself and others while trinity has helped mel stand up for herself. they have little jokes and private smiles.

when langdon gets back, there’s the few weeks of awkward adjustment where mel has to balance her friendships with two people who can’t fucking stand each other. she breaks one day, softly crying because she loves both of them but they keep making her feel bad about it. they realize that they love mel more than they hate each other so they come to a truce.

santos, now that she has this weird frenemies relationship with langdon, can now observe him without seeing him as an evil asshole. she notices that any time she makes mel giggle or when mel grips her arms in excitement, langdon makes that stupid fucking pouting face that he has. it’s like she’s hit a gold mine and makes langdon jealous becomes her favorite pastime.

if mel is charting and discussing the patient with langdon, trinity will lean on the counter next to her and play with the end of her braid “waiting” for her turn. mel starts getting sad over a shared patient so trinity rubs her arm until mel leans against her and trinity locks eyes with langdon. smirking while he fucking fumes.

Alba Baptista really said "they didn't write us gay enough" and just went with it

you may doubt that "they" are doing buddie canon but you can't deny that oliver stark is definitely doing buddie canon

Taylor Dearden as Dr. Melissa King in THE PITT (2025-)

Dare I say this is Tumblr's greatest bit of all time

Now that TV has woken up to romance series a la Bridgerton, I'm pro a The Wallflowers series

Pros:

It's Victorian so no empire waist dresses (no offense to the bridgerton costume department they did an excellent job i just hate regency)

Shorter series so it's easier to cast. There's only 4 wallflowers but the way the books tie in it could be extended to other couples based on popularity

Scene variety! There's Westcliff's estate, the foundry, Paris, Scotland, the casino, probably London at some point

Higher stakes! People almost die! There's more drama in the books so the show wouldn't have to make up as much drama (looking at you, Marina)

Only two characters are related so it would be easier to add diversity. Pretty much no one has to be white (though if Lillian is white, sebastian also has to be white. That plotline can get messy)

Cons

There's no way they'll cast Simon Hunt correctly
